Military Picture of the Day
The memorial commemorating the defenders of the forts of Liège during the opening weeks of August 1914, donated by Greece. And a poem: THE lads of Liege, beyond our eyes They lie where beauty's laurels be — With lads of old Thermopylæ, Who stayed the storming Persians. The lads of Liege...- th_battleaxe

Militaria
Your English is indeed fine. It sure is a lot better than that of a friend of mine, and he's studying to be an English teacher. Anyway, since WWI is in vogue, these days, I thought I'll post my shell. It's a 1916 made 18 pounder artillery shell. I was unable to get a clear picture of the...- th_battleaxe

Favourite Soundtrack
This is a piece from one of my favourite movies: Waterloo. One of the historical epics of the 60's and 70's that you just don't see anymore these days. To give you an idea; 10.000 troops and 2000 horses were used. It includes the sunrise on the day of the battle, the march onto the field, and...- th_battleaxe

What have you made recently?
Right, time to go back to the very beginning of this thread. This is the 1/48th scale Heinkel He 219 A-5 I've been working on for some time now. A lot of that time went into the paintjob. It's still heavily WIP, though. All the little things such as the antennae and the undercarriage doors...- th_battleaxe

Picture of the Day
An Armstrong-Whitworth Albermarle transport plane. The Albermarle is one of the lesser-known aircraft of WWII. It was first intended as a bomber, but proved inferior to existing types, such as the Vickers Wellington. So it was repurposed as a transport plane and glider tug. It could carry 10...- th_battleaxe

News Update #46: A Relic of Another Time
Indeed. Well done @Strayferret. The tubular magazine did spark my interest, though. It turns out this thing will be a pain in the neck to reload. This guy gives some more information about the handling of the rifle. Reload takes place near the end.- th_battleaxe

Picture of the Day
Flight Lieutenant Baron Jean Selys de Longchamps, a former Belgian cavalry officer turned Typhoon pilot. He is best known for his Rhubarb on the Gestapo HQ in Brussels, a blatant gesture of contempt against the occupying forces. He feigned he was about to crash, luring everyone in the building...- th_battleaxe

Picture of the Day
A Belgian T-13 B3 tank destroyer, captured by the Germans in May 1940. Despite their puny appearance, these vehicles sported a 47 mm AT-gun that was capable of shooting clean through a Panzer IV.- th_battleaxe

Overview of finished items on the website
Would it be possible to have an overview of the finished weapon and vehicle models in a separate tab on the website? The game is expanding ever more, and having such an overview would be IMHO very useful to keep track of the stuff that's already there, and also to get new members up to speed...- th_battleaxe
